Ah Chen stepped forward to check and found that the dagger was hidden in his chest and belly pocket. He apologized and said, "I didn't check this place. I know my mistake."

Qin Xuanling glanced at him lightly and said, "Let's deal with it and go get the punishment."

Ah Shen respectfully dragged the body out of the ground. After a while, the sound of whips hitting flesh could be heard in the courtyard.

After stitching up the wound, Geshan couldn't help but sigh: "After all, he is also his uncle and nephew, so why does he have to do this?"

Qin Xuanling sneered coldly: "Where is the family affection in the royal family?"

Geshan sighed: "But Your Majesty, tomorrow I will soak in ice water again to suppress the poison in your body. Your wound..."

"Your Majesty."

A guard, Amo, rushed in outside the door and described everything he had just seen in detail, "Prince Sheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to have set a trap with the second lady of the Yun family to kidnap Miss Yun, but instead he was kidnapped.

The eldest lady of the Yun family will take advantage of the situation..."

Qin Xuanling said oh, no wonder he met her in the forest, she is a smart person.

The wound on his waist was still aching, and the maid who had just assassinated him would not be the last one. The poison he had been poisoned was still tormenting him day and night.

Thinking of the feeling of smooth breathing after being pressed by her wonderful hands, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"That's what she wanted."

——

Yun Xihe sat in a pavilion high up, watching Chu Sheng drive out of Chang'an City without looking back, and still felt a tremor in his heart.

Even though she was sitting in the sun, the feeling of being thrown off the city wall and shattered into pieces still tortured her all the time.

It was a sense of fate that her life would be ruined, like a big knife hanging over her head that could fall at any time.

She knew in her heart that this was only a short period of peace, but it was enough.

In the remaining time, she will definitely race against time to make complete preparations to save herself from fire or water at any time.

All the suffering you put on me in the last life, I will pay back tenfold!

She asked Xiao Tao to call a carriage to return to General Yun's Mansion. She was really tired after a night of noisy work.

While waiting against the pillar, a cold and deep voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "Where are you basking in the sun?"

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Qin Xuanling standing in front of her with her hands behind her hands.

He had recently changed into a jade-colored robe and had his hair tied up with a jade crown, which made him look even more charming as a mature man. Looking at his cold and arrogant demeanor, it seemed that the wound on his waist was not serious.

Yun Xihe sniffed the vague smell of ambergris in the air, thinking about yesterday's chance encounter in the forest, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, the prince also comes here to bask in the sun?"

Qin Xuanling strolled and sat down next to her, leaning on the railing behind him. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and he was looking at her for an instant, as if he wanted to see her all the way through.

For a long time, his eyes stayed on her loose bun. He shook the hairpin in his hand and half-threw it, half-thrown it away: "Take it back."

Yun Xihe subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it steadily.

Her heart froze and she was a little disappointed. She never expected that he would come to reject her personally.

But the next moment, Qin Xuanling's cold voice sounded again: "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

His tone was extremely calm, and even though he was talking about something life-threatening, he still seemed to be discussing the weather.

Yun Xihe couldn't help but frown, as he really couldn't figure out what kind of temper this person had.

But there is no way, for some things, it is really better for her to rely on others than to rely on herself.

So this thigh came to the door on its own, and she had to hug it.

She took a deep breath and lightly opened her red lips: "Prince Xuan, I will detoxify you, and you will protect me!"

"What kind of protector?"

"When it gets dark, help me burn down the East Palace."

Originally, she didn't want to do this. After all, she was still engaged to the prince at this time. Unfortunately, the prince died tragically, so she had to cancel the marriage.

The marriage between her and the prince was personally granted by Emperor Chrysostom and could not be withdrawn easily.

So she simply found another way.

After she finished speaking, she sat quietly, waiting for his reaction. In fact, she was not 100% sure, but with someone like Qin Xuanling, she could only focus on sincerity.

"..." Qin Xuanling seemed not to hear clearly, but also seemed not to believe it. The indifferent expression on his face gradually lost its hold and became confused.

He was silent, seeming to be thinking about her intention. After a while, he said: "Oh. Because you were hurt by the prince and the concubine, you want to use me to take revenge and regain face?"

Yun Xihe breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably and did not refuse directly. It seemed that there was something interesting.

So she patiently explained: "How could it be? I don't like Qin Junze, that dirty guy, so I don't care about being faceless."

Qin Xuanling gave a rare chuckle, as if he was humored by her words, and returned to his original state in a moment.

He was very curious and guessed: "Burning the East Palace on fire is a very interesting and bold idea. Well, are you trying to...pretend to surrender and join forces with the prince to frame me for rebellion?"

Yun Xihe pursed his lips: "...The prince is joking. My daughter doesn't have the courage. My daughter and the Yun family want to live a few more years."

Qin Xuanling's face suddenly turned cold. He didn't have much patience, "...then what are you going to do?"

His penetrating eyes made her hair freeze.

Yun Xihe's eyes met his inspection calmly, and he reminded him calmly, "Prince Xuan, it is you who have something to ask of me now."

Qin Xuanling paused, and his expression became a bit gentler: "That's the truth. In that case, let's do whatever Miss Xihe says."

Yun Xihe: "..."

He is such a cold, arrogant and weird person, making him unpredictable.

Qin Xuanling didn't seem to take his doubts to heart, and asked again, "Then when do you plan to detoxify me?"

Yun Xihe turned to look and saw that he was clearly asking for help, but there was still no emotion on his handsome face.

She couldn't help but feel sluggish, her extremely charming phoenix eyes filled with doubts. Couldn't this person really speak with a little more humanity?

But she quickly adjusted her mentality. After all, living is more important.

So she discussed: "Prince Xuan, how about tomorrow? I am too tired and need to go back and have a good sleep. I also need to prepare detoxification materials and silver needles."

Qin Xuanling nodded, seeming very satisfied with the answer, "I will go to General Yun's Mansion tomorrow. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Yun Xihe breathed a sigh of relief when he asked again, "Which courtyard do you live in? I will look for you at night."

He asked this question very smoothly, as if he was not the one who said in the woods yesterday that "men and women do not have sex".

Yun Xihe was a little suffocated and rolled his eyes in his mind countless times before he regained his composure.
